[Verse 1]
Fence posts lean in the dawn
Dust on my boots, gate swung long
Coffee in a red tin cup
Horse out back, grass burned up
[Verse 2]
I can see for miles and more
Thunderheads rolling past the door
Wind cuts clean through the pine
This old land still feels like mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the evening turns gold
I let that silence take hold
It runs deep through my bones
Makes a hard man feel like home
[Chorus]
Big sky, big sky
Hold me where the wild things fly
Big sky, big sky
I was made for this life
(Oh, big sky)
(Oh, big sky)
[Verse 3]
Boot heels dark with river mud
Brand-new scar, old stubborn blood
Mama said, "Boy, stay true"
I kept that promise in the blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the light falls wide and slow
On every hill I used to know
I don't need much to stay
Just this land and one more day
[Chorus]
Big sky, big sky
Hold me where the wild things fly
Big sky, big sky
I was made for this life
(Oh, big sky)
(Oh, big sky)
[Bridge]
If I ever lose my way
Let the horizon call my name
Let the north wind pull me near
Back to where my heart lives here
[Final Chorus]
Big sky, big sky
Hold me where the wild things fly
Big sky, big sky
I was made for this life
Big sky, big sky
Under heaven, running bright
(Oh, big sky)
(Oh, big sky)
